Synopsis

This fascinating biography follows the life of one of the most extraordinary psychologists of modern times, Carl Jung, and the incredible impact he made on our understanding of the human mind.
Author Lily Yuan takes us on a journey through Jung's life, beginning with the formative years of his childhood through his tumultuous relationship with fellow psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud to his travels across the world in his later years. Jung developed such innovative ideas as extraversion and introversion, the shadow, and synchronicity; created a range of stunning works of art, and his legacy can be seen all around us in the music we listen to, the stories we read and the movies we watch.
With clear explanations of his groundbreaking ideas and insights into Jung's unique personality, this is a compelling introduction to one of the great minds of the 20th century.

The last chapter on Jung’s legacy was insightful, especially to a psychologist as I knew a......more
